@dotun_o – I had a family member that killed someone while driving under the influence. He never fought the charges, took full responsibility, served his time and never went a day without thinking about the life he took. He was 18, had one too many – yes, this is when 18 was the legal age. He was on track to go to college on a full ride; however, everything was ruined in his life. I took many years for him to get a somewhat decent job, after he was released. I loved him dearly, I saw how he was treated.
In all honesty, my anger comes from seeing how he put his life back together, spoke to teens about the consequences of drunk driving and no matter what, he couldn’t get hired doing a decent job. Here Michael Vick comes along, and wants this lifestyle handed back to him. I just doubt his sincerity. I was honest, though. I said my heart was ruling, this time. I just hate that it didn’t come as easy for my cousin. Even the family of the victim felt that things were way too hard on him. They petitioned the court for reduced sentence. There was never a time when it didn’t come back to haunt him. It just pisses me off that it should be handed back to Michael Vick on a silver platter.
@casheroo – Really? I thought they had all things reinstated after release. I didn’t release they couldn’t get state medical help, if necessary. That should be changed. If you can get it in jail, you should be able to get it on the outside.
